[32F] Experiencing fatigue and a range of other symptoms

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, possible diagnoses include:

• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS): This condition is characterized by extreme fatigue that can't be explained by any underlying medical condition. The fatigue worsens with physical or mental activity, but doesn't improve with rest.

  • There's no single test to confirm a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome. You may need a variety of medical tests to rule out other health problems that have similar symptoms.

• Hypothyroidism: This is a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain crucial hormones. Hypothyroidism may not cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages, but over time, untreated hypothyroidism can cause a number of health problems, such as obesity, joint pain, infertility and heart disease.

  • Diagnosis of hypothyroidism is based on your symptoms and the results of blood tests that measure the level of TSH and sometimes the level of the thyroid hormone thyroxine.

• Fibromyalgia: This is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals.

  • There is no test to diagnose fibromyalgia. Your doctor may want to rule out other conditions that may have similar symptoms.

What you can do

1. Schedule an appointment with your primary care doctor. They can help determine if there's an underlying condition causing your symptoms.
2. Keep a symptom diary. This can help your doctor understand more about the pattern of your symptoms.
3. Try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Eat a balanced diet, get regular exercise, and ensure you're getting enough sleep.

What you should look out for

If your symptoms worsen or you develop new symptoms, you should seek medical attention. Specifically, if you experience:

• Severe pain
• Rapid weight gain
• Severe headaches
• Difficulty breathing
